Impeachment Is A Strong Word – Bob Ulm

I have no real idea whether President Trump tried to pressure FBI Director James Comey to end an investigation into the dealings of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

I don’t know whether the President tipped off the Russians about classified information on a potential ISIS plot.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not familiar enough with laws that cover whether a President has the right to determine what is classified information and what isn’t classified information.

But what I do know is that the word “impeachment” seems to have the same impact on nervous nelly investors as the word “fire” in a crouded movie theater.

The 300 plus drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Wednesday proves it.

Note to people in power…

Throwing around words like “impeachment” and it’s resulting potential impact on the value of what little most Americans have been able to salt away at retirement means a whole lot more than Michael Flynn or the Russians.
